Start with when and where you are live
Somebody who finds you through a clip wants to know one thing: when can they catch you live? Put the channel first and the answer in the label: "Live on Twitch, Tue to Fri, 8 pm CET" beats a bare "Twitch". Always write the time zone. Your viewers are not all in yours.
With Noiz Premium you can go further and add a calendar to a page below your card. Each visitor sees your stream times converted to their own time zone, so nobody has to do the math.
Give your Discord server its own place
Discord is where a stream's audience lives between streams, so it deserves more than an icon in a row. On Noiz, a Discord server card with a Join button is free: it shows your server's name and icon, and member counts when Discord provides them.
- In Discord, create an invite set to never expire. A card built on a temporary invite stops working when the invite lapses.
- In Noiz, open Profile, then Widgets, find Discord server, and paste the invite into Invite link.
- Press Check & save, turn on Show my Discord server, then press Save.
You can also show your own Discord handle and picture on the card, and your live status with the game you are playing or streaming. The status is off until you switch it on, and it only works while you are a member of the Noiz Discord server: Discord does not offer another account's status to a website, only to a bot in a server you share. Connecting Discord covers the rest.
Answer the questions chat always asks
What sens? What mouse? What headset? A page that answers once saves you typing it every stream. Keep it as a short list of labeled values, not a paragraph, so people can find the one number they came for.
Noiz Premium has widgets for exactly this: game settings (sensitivity, DPI, crosshair, rank and more, depending on the game), hardware, a shelf of the games you play with their covers, and a clips player for up to five of your own clips. Your settings and ranks are values you type in: Noiz does not read them from any game. The free live cards are separate, and can show your Steam, Roblox or Twitch status, read from those services.
Your stream and videos on the page
On Noiz, a YouTube video, a Twitch clip, a past broadcast or your channel itself can play in place on the free plan. A Twitch channel shows your stream while you are live and Twitch's offline screen when you are not, a YouTube channel opens on your newest upload, and nothing starts playing until a visitor presses it.
Keep embeds to the one or two things you want watched. Every player is the provider's own, so it loads from their servers when your page opens, and a page with eight players is a slow page.
Make it look like your stream
Your overlay has colors and a look. Your page can match: Noiz Premium has twenty-two animated backgrounds, custom fonts, cursors and glow, and the free plan covers colors, the card's shape and a background image. A viewer who taps through from your stream should recognize where they landed.
Support links without the clutter
- Pick one way you most want to be supported and make it a button: subs, Ko-fi or Patreon.
- Put the others in the icon row, where they take no extra space.
- Take sponsor codes down when the deal ends. An expired code is a small broken promise.
For other setups, from musicians to VRChat creators, see link in bio examples.
Questions
- What should a streamer put in their link in bio?
- The live channel with your schedule and time zone, your Discord server, your newest video, your settings and gear, and one support link. Everything else is optional.
- Can my link in bio show when I am live?
- Yes. Add the Twitch card and it shows whether you are live, with your category, viewer count and stream title, checked every couple of minutes. Your Twitch channel can also play on the page: set the link to Play inline and visitors see your stream while you are live, and Twitch's offline screen when you are not. With Premium your schedule can sit in a calendar that shows each visitor their local time.
- How do I add my Discord server to my link in bio?
- On Noiz, open Profile, then Widgets, then Discord server. Paste an invite into Invite link, press Check & save, turn on Show my Discord server and press Save. Use an invite that never expires.
- Where should I put my game settings?
- Somewhere people can copy them. On Noiz Premium, the game settings widget lays them out as labeled values; on any page, a short list beats a paragraph.
